Ten-tec makes a good radio. The Orion ended up a good radio. The Orion II is a good radio. The v1 Orion had some well known problems and that's in part why there is now a v2 code base. In the proces
I agree with that point entirely. My observation was just that, based on one data point, that may or not be statistically different from any other measurement of the same parameters, given possible
I realize that. Problem is the way the +/- goes. Using 150 Hz as a reference, it's really a 4 dB DROP from 150 hz to 2400 hz on the AM curve when the radio is ostensibly set for a "flat" EQ response
EQ is not "forcing" a radio to do something it's trying not to do. It's standard practice. That's true. The AM response curve in v2/II, as someone pointed out, is more "broadcast quality" from a low
I agree comletely from the point of view of whether or not there's enough distortion-free headroom to actually do it. Theoretically it's certainly possible; practical possibility is another matter a
My next door neighbor and I (when we were 5 or 6) used string and tin-cans. We could understand everything each of us said as well :-) The "problem" is two-fold. Of course, that depends on whether y
Ok, so you go out and trade in your fabulous 2003 Dodge Viper, that makes your heart race just looking at it, on a 2006 Viper. You take it to a track, and discover that it tops out at 87.6 mph. And
I rechecked it after doing the usual resets, and it still doesn't work, so it's a fair assumption that it's broken in 2.03x, although interestingly I saw a post that said it works ok in 2.056. And o
The original v1 Orion is better in this regard -- with an actual transmit audio bandwidth capability of 50-3900 Hz (at the 6dB points). This is user adjustable between 50-300Hz on the low end, and o
Orion audio could be adjusted to suit. You want "tin" you could have "tin". You want "contest screech" you could have that. You want lots of low end you could have that, too. Doesn't seem to have be
I'm not a DSP guru, so can't speak to it directly, but based on several off-line conversations I've had that seems to be the emerging concensus. Grant/NQ5T
You're doing better than I am :-( With PWR set to 100 I get a maximum carrier output of about 5 watts, with modulation peaks to 20. There is no ALC action at normal levels. The signal sounds ok, but
John, John ... I loved my Orion after the major bugs were fixed. I don't hate my Orion II, although I grumble about some things. I don't hate Ten-Tec, and I have grumbled about them, too. I don't ev
Depends on your point of view. I would call it "differences" rather than "faults", in most cases. It was just something broken in the 2.033 release. It was fine in 2.032. This is a common problem --
